Product Description

Lattice Bangle, Surgical Grade Stainless Steel.

Mackenzie's precise work often leads people to believe that she uses a machine, but she actually only uses a vice and a small mallet. Inspired by baskets, textiles, ceramics, and surface patterns from around the world, she often incorporates French passementerie and Native American basketry techniques into her contemporary jewelry designs. She only works with recycled materials, choosing metals based on their working properties and color. The bangle is fine designer jewelry created entirely of handwoven surgical grade Stainless Steel. The open-weave technique employed was developed by the artist in an effort to incorporate negative space. This technique requires a tremendous amount of work, and the strength and spring of stainless steel to maintain it's integrity. Once the item is woven, it is hand-formed into it's anticlastic shape and polished to a mirror shine.
